Barely 27 years old and already enjoying his big breakthrough with a debut album on Blue Note, hailed as the best jazz album of the year by The New York Times and best jazz debut by NPR. The music of saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins is filled with passion and conviction, weaving arcs of melody and lament into grand gestures of space and breath, where the collective sum is greater than the individual contributions of each musician—qualities that have made him a touring partner for everyone from Jason Moran and Wynton Marsalis to Bob Dylan and Solange Knowles. Wilkins delivered a fantastic concert with his quartet at Bergen Jazzforum in the fall of 2023 and now returns with his new album Blues Blood. Music for the future.
